Chocolate might be the
"sustenance of the divine beings," yet for the majority of its
4,000-year history, it was really devoured as a severe drink as opposed to as a
sweet palatable treat. Anthropologists have discovered proof that chocolate was
delivered by pre-Olmec societies living in present-day Mexico as ahead of
schedule as 1900 B.C. The old Mesoamericans who initially developed cacao
plants found in the tropical rainforests of Central America aged, broiled and
ground the cacao beans into a glue that they blended with water, vanilla,
nectar, stew peppers and different flavors to mix a foamy chocolate drink.
Olmec, Mayan and Aztec human
advancements observed chocolate to be a strengthening drink, state of mind
enhancer and love potion, which persuaded that it had enchanted and
otherworldly qualities. The Mayans revered a divine force of cacao and saved
chocolate for rulers, warriors, ministers and nobles at sacrosanct functions.
At the point when the Aztecs
started to command Mesoamerica in the fourteenth century, they hungered for
cacao beans, which couldn't be developed in the dry good countries of focal
Mexico that were the heart of their human progress. The Aztecs exchanged with
the Mayans for cocao beans, which were coveted to the point that they were
utilized as cash. (In the 1500s, Aztecs could buy a turkey hen for 100 beans.)
By some records, the sixteenth century Aztec sovereign Montezuma drank three
gallons of chocolate a day to expand his
moxie.
